The Siren and The Specter
ByPublisher Description
"Worth every bit of praise it has received so far, The Siren and the Specter should definitely be on your top 10 list of horror books." — The Splatter Geist
Goodreads Choice Award finalist for Best Horror
When David Caine, a celebrated skeptic of the supernatural, is invited by an old friend to spend a month in “the most haunted house in Virginia,” he believes the case will be like any other. But the Alexander House is different.
Built by a 1700s land baron to contain the madness and depravity of his eldest son, the house is plagued by shadows of the past and the lingering taint of bloodshed. David is haunted, as well. For twenty-two years ago, he turned away the woman he loved, and she took her life in sorrow.
And David suspects she’s followed him to the Alexander House.

“I was having an issue with the writing style at the beginning. The book started moving more quickly once I got used to it. I did not really like the main character either. However, an interesting plot once you're really into it.”

“Honestly the horror is so well done that it saved it from being a 1 star review. The plot felt like it was trying to cram every kind of horror element into one book. The main character was insufferable (I get it, he’s a good looking, buff author/professor) and most the other characters felt like they were there to reinforce him being good looking or being an asshole. Sure, he gets a redemption arc, but like, barely.
I get the appeal, but man, it definitely missed the mark for me.”

“I've always been a skeptic when it comes to ghosts, sirens, aliens, etc. This was an enjoyable story with some mystery and suspense but I'm still a skeptic.”
